Attack of the Pod(casting) Pundits!

Nick Gillespie | November 21, 2005

America's Future Foundation--not to be confused with England's No Future For You and Goode Tyme Skiffle Band Foundation--has launched a podcast of a monthly, hour-long radio show. This time's lineup includes:

Attorney and columnist James Markels, David Freddoso of the Evans-Novak Political Report, and Gene Healy of the Cato Institute. John Maniscalco hosts the program. Topics covered in the first podcast include:

--A wrap-up of this month's off-year elections. Freddoso argues that Jerry Kilgore lost the Virginia governor's race not because of President Bush's reverse coat-tails, but because he couldn't commit to conservative principles.

--A preview of cases currently before the Supreme Court. Issues include a religious group's claim that hallucinogenic drug use is part of their constitutional protected right to worship and whether minors may be forced to seek parental permission before getting an abortion.

--Updates on the status of smoking bans around the country and in Washington, D.C.

--The "Outrage of the Month" feature, in which panelists describe the recent political happening they have found most contemptible.

Check it out here.

It sounds pretty gay.

And that's not a compliment.

Only one per month? Wouldn't it be too hard to chose just one?

Freddoso argues that Jerry Kilgore lost the Virginia governor's race...because he couldn't commit to conservative principles.

I think that it may have helped (that is, hurt) that he came across as a serious sphincter of the the Santorum conservative tribe with cursed blessing from Virginia Beach (Pat Robertson, that is).

Rimfax,

Since Pat Robertson is into condemming people for the political choices they make (at least in Dover, PA), how long will it be before the people / Democrats in VA start feeling God's wrath?

"--A preview of cases currently before the Supreme Court. Issues include a religious group's claim that hallucinogenic drug use is part of their constitutional protected right"

Uh, this is false. They are claiming they have a STATUTORY protected right to use the Tea due to the RFRA, a statute enacted by Congress.

Adam: That was an error by the producers to describe the case that way. The show describes the case accurately.
